Chapter 085: Officialdom (Part II)
Gao Gong showed a strange smile and said slowly, "Why do you say that?" The governor and the governor have all spoken, and a few county orders still dare to carry it still? ”
"My nephew thinks they might really dare!" Gao Shishi raised his eyebrows, slapped the scroll on the table lightly, and sneered: "Shuai Jiamo's proposition is of course beneficial to She County, but for the other five counties, it is downright bad news. Uncle San, you think, if this matter is agreed, they will have to pay a lot of taxes for no reason. Therefore, whether it is the officials, officials, or local gentry who were born in these five counties, they must resolutely oppose this proposal. To a certain extent, this is also a public opinion, even if it should be cared for and pressed, it has to be worried. ”
Gao Gong was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Yes, of course." Gao Shishi snorted and said, "It's also difficult to say the position of the prefect of Huizhou. Because from the standpoint of the prefect of Huizhou, no matter how this 'human Ding silk silk' is distributed in the six counties under his rule, it will make no difference to the government, after all, he only needs to gather enough 8,780 raw silk horses every year to hand over to Nanjing. If this silk tax is not changed, the situation is as calm as ever, at most, Shexian complains two sentences, then it's not a big deal - you have paid it for more than 200 years, this is also a law of the ancestors, or don't change it at will! However, on the other hand, if he supported Shuai Jiamo's proposal and divided the taxes equally among the six counties, he would not get the slightest benefit from the Huizhou government, but would also cause a commotion in the other five counties, which would be completely harmful and not beneficial...... In this way, how the Huizhou government will choose, it is not known. ”
Gao Gong smiled and nodded: "It makes sense, that's why Shuai Jiamo wanted to go to Ying Tianfu and submit the documents to the two houses instead of directly reporting to the Huizhou Mansion." He just wanted to rely on the prestige of the sea pen frame to force the Huizhou Mansion and the other five counties, because he knew that he was in Huizhou and had no support at all. ”
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "Fortunately, Hai Rui's name is loud enough and his temper is tough enough, as long as he is here, this matter will still be black and white after all." ”
At this moment, Gao Gong's face was a little dark, and at the same time, he was a little embarrassed, and he coughed dryly before saying, "Then you are only afraid that you will be disappointed." ”
Gao was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Could it be that Hai Rui has changed his temperament and doesn't care about this stubble?" ”
"He didn't say he didn't care, but he couldn't take care of it." Gao Gong said with a calm face: "The Xu Party's backlash is very strong, and the General Administration Department can receive the impeachment of Hai Rui every day, and these concerts have become more and more numerous recently, and some people have even hinted in the recital, openly and secretly accusing me of communiqué personal vendetta, because of personal grievances against a retired minister, his feelings are hateful, and his heart can be punished." ”
Gao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed: "Third uncle, you want to withdraw Hai Rui?" ”
"It's not a withdrawal." Gao Gong waved his hand and sighed, "I have to move a nest for him...... You don't know, although this person has a good heart to do things, his methods are too rough and direct, and he can't listen to persuasion! ”
When he said this, he suddenly became a little angry, snorted coldly, and said: "Ha, when it comes to rectifying the rule of officials, I Gao Suqing will only be more concerned than him, but he is not a teahouse idler, he is a feudal territory of the imperial court, do you really think that you can rectify the rule of officials by killing a few casually?" Immature! I think back then, when I was still King Yu, in order to give Yuwang Mansion a reward, didn't I have to praise Yan Shifan's stinky feet? Oh, you say you'd rather bend than bend? Yes, you folded it, but what happens after you fold it? Is it done? No! Since the matter has not been done, you just fold out a flower and use it again! ”
After Gao Gong finished saying this, he probably vented a lot, calmed down a little, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said: "So I have officially transferred him to the governor Caoyun, and he should be the governor of the heavens, and he can't do it like this anymore, otherwise, ...... Mess up. ”
Gao Pragmatic knew that the governor of Shanghai Rui, the governor of Yingtian, had not been able to do it in the end, and it seemed that he had also been transferred to the post of President Cao, but he didn't expect that he would go around this point after turning around in this life.
"It's just a ...... this time" Gao Pragmatic frowned, and did not continue to dwell on Hai Rui's affairs, but said: "The case of 'Ren Ding Silk Silk' in Nashe County, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle." This kind of thankless thing is only a person like Hai Rui, who has to be more serious about everything, and is willing to do it only on right and wrong, regardless of the pros and cons. ”
Gao Gong didn't answer, but with a calm face, he found a scroll from the table and handed it to him.
Gao Pragmatic took it and took a look, and there was only a wry smile on his face, because the situation over there was really told by his crow's mouth.
It turned out that the six counties should be instructed by Tianxun on the 14th of the first month, and the Huizhou government immediately issued a license to urge. But after half a month, there was no reaction below, as if it had not been heard. Not to mention the five counties of Yi, Xiuning, Wuyuan, Qimen, and Jixi, and even She County, which is the master of suffering, is actually silent.
Shuai Jiamo inquired and found out that at this time, the magistrate of She County, Fang Huan, was catching up with Ding Wei, and there was no one to act in the county. The magistrates of the other five counties have announced that they are busy preparing for the Hajj, so they have stopped working.
It must be explained here: In the Ming Dynasty, starting from the 18th year of Hongwu, it was stipulated that local officials should enter Beijing for a pilgrimage every three years, that is, every three years, and accept the inspection of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This is a major event for officials, and it is related to evaluation, that is, to their future careers.
But there is an obvious problem here, that is, the fourth year of Longqing is the year of Gengwu, and the fifth year of Longqing is the year of Xinwei. In other words, next year will be the year of Hajj...... Why do you only have to make Hajj next year, and you started to stop working before the first month of this year? Do you mean that you have to stop working for a year for next year's Hajj?
Oh, it's not you, it's you—because it's not one prefect who says that, it's all five prefects who say so.
This is very interesting, it is clear that the five counties have discussed it in private, and adopted a passive and non-cooperative attitude towards this collegiate discussion, and tried to delay it as much as possible, delaying it until it was forgotten, delayed until Huang, and dragged it until it ended without a problem, and then naturally the world was peaceful, and what happened in the end. I think that the two appeals of She County in the Jiajing Dynasty were not dragged out like this?
Gao Shi was so angry that he only snorted coldly, and he couldn't even scold a little.
"Now you know that it is difficult to clear up the rule of officials, right? Look at these people, all they have in their eyes is the little place under their butts. Gao Gong also smiled, waved his hand and said, "I see that you have some thoughts on this matter, and you just said it...... This matter is very representative, but after talking about it for a long time, you didn't say what the meaning of this representation is. What, don't you want to tell me about it? ”
